JUSTIN M'UARTHY IN CHICAGO.

MI. Justin McCarthy's lecture in Chi
cago last Tuesday evening under the
auspices of the Central Woman's Chris
tian Union was attended by about 2,5O0
people. We have received report OF
the lecture, but unfortunately too late
for publication, except we gave it in a
condensed form. This we feel would
not be doing justice to one Of the great
est lectures on the Irish question that
has ever been delivered in America, so
we have resolved to publish it in It's en-
tirety next week. Many of our readers
have already read much that has enaanat-
ed from the brain Of the great historian,
novelist, journalist and patriot, and we
assure them that his lecture at Chicago
last Tuesday evening will be found up
to his usual standard of excellence.

AN item appeared in an evening
daily during the week which strongly
;ns;nnated that Sheriff Swenson was
nartia} in the matter of serving indict-
meuts-the Scandinavians being saved
from arrest. There is no truth in the
matter whatever, as the facts of the
case will substantiate. Undoubtedly
the statement comes from a Repu biz
can source and was thrown out simply
for political effect. Sheriff Swenson's
fairness and impartiality must be ques
toned by better authority than that
produced before the least consideration
will be given it.

ARCHBISHOP ELDER, Of Cincinnati,
authorizes the Catholic Columbian to
contradict the whole story recently ap-
nearing in a number of papers, that a
theatrical company was forming in that
city to aid in the payment of what is
known as the Purcell debt" His
Grace gives no sanction whatever to
the scheme. 1t is the height OF abb
s7,r,1ity to think that the Church has
anv need of the services Of band OF

THERE appears to be a strong sentiment
against that movable mob, whose
headquarters are in Chicago and called
the IinkerJon detective and police
force. This feeling is by no means
confined TO laboringmen-all classes are
q unit in declaring that the rank and
file of the Pinkerton armed mob are
composed of men who are not entitled
to the respect OF peaceable law-abiding
citizens. The following from the Bos~
ton Pilot. will give some idea of the IL
legal and unnatural powers held by
this body OF private desperadoes:
;sWhen labor troubles occur in any re-
gion the capitalists whose property is
threatened, instead OF appealing to the
civil authorities, as is their right and
duty, may call upon Iinkerton's agency
for help. Upon payment Of sufficient
price, the agency supplies them with as
many guards as they may need. These
guards are fully armed. with the best
repeating rifles and other weapons.
They are under the orders Of their own
officers. Unlike the lawful soldiers of
the State, they do not receive their au-
thority to use their weapons from a
civil magistrate. No reading Of a riot
act or other formality is gone through.
Ii they choose to imagine they are in
danger Of violence, or if they happen to
feel insulted by the jeers of on-lookers,
they reply with a. yolley" There has
never been an instance where this force
was used that it Gid not serve to irri-
tate and enrage strikers and thereby
endanger life, property and public
safety. Several States of the Union
have enacted laws making it illegal for
capitalists and others to import the
Pinkerton armed desperadpes. The
legislature now in session at ST. Paul
might take this matter into considera-
tion. and endeayor to guard us against
a visitation from this notorious horde
Of thugs.

THE ENGLISH In EGYPT

tfIHApS tlexb t0 IItlhtiti IO CCuAVIy III
the world has suffered SO much at the
hands OF the tyraut England of late
years us Egypt, and it was a humane
action that Of Mr. Cremer, member of
the British House of Commons. i'll
moving an amendment TO the Queens
speech, demanding the immediate re-
call Of all the British forces in that
country. Sir Wilfred Lawson seconded
She motion, and in the course Of a
speech remarked that England had
raised the funded debt Of Egypt from
CSC, 600 900 to e1OO. 900 600, slaughtered
many thousands Of the natives, crippled
the national chamber, bombarded the
principal city OF the country under cir
cumstances Of the greatest horror, in
creased taxation, promoted horrible de-
bauchery in the capital, sown dissen-
sions between the khediye and the peo~
ple. and crushed out the first little
sparks of independence that had been
seen in Eastern nations for ages past.
This is all true but Sir Wilfred might
have gone farther, and said that Eng
land and her murderous soldiers had
robbed the moor natives Of everything
they possessed, tranpled down then
crops, outraged Egyptian women, shot
down the natives in cold blood, and
what was all this for? To gratify the
revenge Of England's ayalicious capi-
talists. whose interests are so zea}ously
guarded in Egypt. England has no
more right to have an army OF occupa-
tion in that country than many of the
other European nations, and should be
forced to evacuate and leave Egypt to
herself.
An English Member Of Parliament,
MI. William S. Caine, who has recently
returned home after q visit to Egypt,
presents vivid picture Of the life the
soldiers are leading in Egypt. and the
civilizing influence Of the British Gov
eminent on that country. Mr.. Caine
declares that the presence Of British
troops is inoculaJing The Arabs with
habits of drunkenness, and familiariz-
ing them with the worst forms Of vice
as regulated and patronized by the State.
Mr.. Caine found licensed houses for
purposes of prostitution) iii Cairo, IN
der regular supervision Of the military
and healti, officers, which the English
Government endorsed by the stamp Of
4 broad arrow affixed outside. Angry
comment was everywhere aroused by
reference to this, and it was considered
outrageous that the sign Of England's
presence should be used as q stamp OF
approval on places Of vicious resort.
The grogshops, Mr. Caine says,
swarmed with natives, who frequented
them constantly, and the Khediye COM
planned that he was powerless to sup
press shops which claim the protection
of the English. Mr. Caine attended
temperance meeting at Cairo, which
was crowded with Arabs, and heard an
energetic address, the speaker in the
choicest Arabic, cursing the English
for bringing this temptation among
them.
England's "civilizing influence" has
had bad effect on the Egyptians, and
the feeling among the natives is strong
ly in favor Of their leaving the country.

A Launch

During the rain pour that took place
last evening about five o'clock, the
pedestrians on the four corners OF King
and Fort streets, who were unable
cross the twin rivers running down by
both curbs, were entertained by the
successful launching of an eXtemporiz'
ed craft in the form of cigar box
rugged with a mast and sail, the sail be
ing duly inscribed Kamehameha. The
craft started from Mr., {. McCarthy's
and glided down nearly to King street,
when it altered its course, following a
branch Of the stream across to Mr.,
McIntyres. Thence gathering way, 1t
sailed gracefully along keeping well in
by the curb, passing under carriages
and automatically steering clear of
horses'feet until 1t coIlided with cab
at Wllder's corner, and was turned in
to Queen street, whore the spectators
first mentioned lost sight Of ii, The

aAoat is certainly entitled to a decora-
ton, say Of the Royal Order OF the
Grand Cross OF Oceania, for his valu
able addition to the Hawaiian navy.

Anticipations were not disappointed
by the performance. The first and
musical part was heartily applaudcd
in every number, and several were en-.
cored, while the jokes were for the
most part fresh or garnished in new
dressing and localized. The Hawaiian
chorus was enjoyed so that a repetition

contained delightful musical embellish-

acted.

A CONFIDENCE OPERATOR.
A Man in Ssu Francisco Who Lays in
Wait for Honoluluans.

During the recent visit of Mr.. ]. T.
Warehouse, Sr., to San Francisco,
while sitting in his room in hotel
one evening, a stranger presented him
self with a card be ring the name
w K. Lucas" The visitor represent
ed himself to be a son Of Mr. George
Lucas, Of Honolulu, saying he was be
tween Thos. X. and Charles. Mr.
Warehouse had never heard of this
son Of his esteemed fellow-citizen, and
questioned the man somewhat closely.
The latter was very w-ll posted IN the
history and affairs Of the Honolulu
Lucas family talking with much free
dom and ccuracy regarding its mem
bers and their business. Mr.. Water
house was beginning to think it posi-
BILE that Mr.. Lucas had grown son
of whom he Mr. W. bad never heard.
Ultimately however, the character Of
his visitor was displayed by his prefer.
ring a request for the loan Of thirty
dollars. The Honolulu merchant,
however, had travelled too much
to be duped so easily, and dis
missed his nsinuatlng visitor without
gratifying his financial desires
This was not the first or only attempt
made by this adventurer on the credu
lily and purses of Honolulu visitors &c
San Francisco. He was successful, il
is said, in raising money on two oc
casions, at least, by means of drafts or
his falsely claimed father. Once the
shrewd Hawaiian Consul, Mr.. ID. A
Mckinley if accounts are correct
forked over cash, in this way, on tht
strength Of the plausible representation
of the confidence man. The latte
